Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I have been teaching ELA in Title I schools for ten years. My students have always loved to read, but we seem to hit a road block every year. The library books are constantly outdated and this turns kids off from reading. We spent some time in the public library this year to make sure my students always had high interest books

We are a Title I school and exhaust our resources every year.

My students love to read and I want to provide them with exposure to new books in order to build engagement and feed their love of books. In order to do so we need help!

My Project

Let’s face it, students spend so much time in the classroom we may as well cater to their needs and make it a space they want to be in! My students struggle to sit in their desks. I have noticed that when given the option to move around the room freely and work wherever they choose, they become a lot more productive. In order to cater to my students' needs I must purchase things to create a completely flexible environment as well as giving the classroom a home vibe. My kids will understand how they learn best through introduction lessons and have the opportunity to try out different seating options. My vision is to remove all desks from my room in order create a welcoming environment and increase engagement. Let's be honest, no one wants to be stuck in a desk all day! The rugs will give students a space to work alone or in small groups without having to sit at their desks!
